According to Chief Deputy William King, Jr., a licensed teenager and a teenage passenger were in the car.

King said the car was traveling on wet roads, and witnesses told deputies it left the roadway for no apparent reason, spun out, and struck a utility pole.

King said rescue crews had to extricate both people from the vehicle. Lifeflight was requested for the victims, but could not fly because of the weather.

According to King, crews took both people to Goodall Hospital. The driver was treated there and released. The passenger suffered serious head and chest injuries and was taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland. At last check the victim was listed in critical but stable condition.
